I always loved Christmas, I am not sure what it really is about this time of year, but I almost feel lighter. Now don't think this is a materialistic thing for me, I grew up dirt poor so many a Christmas there was no gifts, and lets not forget the many Christmas/New Year combinations I spent in the Hospital struggling to live. (The joys of growing up with chronic asthma) I just truly love the essence of the season, it's almost as I can feel the hope radiating from people all around me.

I am a huge supporter of hope, my goals, talents, ventures and aspirations are all well and good but hope is the secret variable in the equation that drives me. It keeps me moving forward even when moving forward feels impossible. Hope is that little bit extra I need when I have to dig deep and I know I have nothing left. I may be too old to still believe in Christmas miracles, but I do, and I hope that I never stop believing.

I also created a trailer for a short film that I never had the opportunity to complete. Still I hold on to hopes that maybe in the coming year I will shoot the entire thing over and finish it right. I need to re-focus and realize that I am a writer first and thus I should be doing a lot more writing. I also need to rely on the team aspect of this film making grind because if I continue to run a one man show I am going to burn out.

Thought of the day: Christmas heralds the end of the year, it's the last hurrah before we start having regrets about all the things we haven't accomplished, and start planning things we may never achieve. This year I said would be the year I created a media empire, what I achieved was equivalent to a drop in a bucket, but still I have made progress I have something to show, and that is more than most. I am leaving certain things behind with the closing of the year. I will not be taking a lot of the negativity that crept into my world in the last couple of months. What I will take with me is a new appreciation for the arts, a renewed zest for life, and my hopes for the future.

In the meantime I'm going to fire up Pandora with a ton of Christmas music, eat way too much sweets, and apologize to anyone I may have wronged all in the name of peace. Tis the season..........
